The Nigerian Army has dismissed a soldier, Lance Corporal Samuel Emmanuel for alleged armed robbery.
It was gathered that Emmanuel was recently arrested over a case of robbery.
His dismissal was announced after a court martial at the 16 Brigade Garrison during the week.
“Lance Corporal Samuel Emmanuel, serving under the 16 Brigade Garrison, has been officially dismissed from the Nigerian Army following his involvement in a case of armed robbery,” a military internal memo read.
“After a thorough investigation and military proceedings, he was found guilty and consequently discharged from the Regiment.
“The Nigerian Army maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards indiscipline and criminal behaviour.
“All personnel are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct, professionalism, and integrity — without exception.”
The Lance Corporal had reportedly been handed over to police for further necessary action.
